Chapter 66: The Missing Wine Bottle

Huilong hugs the water, Daze is water, the woods and mountains are continuous for the dragon, and the hook in the mountains is convex, as the head of the dragon, it is called the dragon.

The Book of Burial once said: "There must be mountains in the water." Therefore, the water will be exhausted, the water will stop, the water will fly away, the gas will disperse, and the water will melt and the internal gas will gather. ”

When there is water, the gas gathers into the dragon, and when there is no water, the gas disperses and the dragon dies.

It's just that the dragon is just dead, so where does the evil spirit come from? Why are the dead mountains all ducks?

Under what circumstances can evil spirits breed in one place?

Yu Xia pondered, and suddenly her eyes flashed, remembering a detail that she had overlooked.

Yu Xia hurriedly took out the county chronicle that recorded the last years of the previous dynasty and read it carefully.

“…… In the sixth year of Yanguang, there was a great drought in the sky, and hunger was everywhere...... Daze withered and turned into a wild ......"

"Warlords are divided, wars are raging...... Bones are exposed ......"

In the sixth year of Yanguang, the tyranny of the previous dynasty was rampant with demons and evils, and the war was raging.

Someone once described Jintan County under the fire of war at that time: "The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles." ”

Yu Xia had a faint guess in his heart, and hurriedly got up and went out to find Wen Yun.

Yu Xia didn't see Wen Yun when he got out of the yard, but he saw Baili Yexi holding a strangely shaped probe shovel and a cloth bag and was about to go out.

Yu Xia saw that he was about to nod his head, but the other party glanced at her and snorted coldly, turned his head, and strode out of the door. It is estimated that he knew that he was not welcomed, so he took everything by himself, and he didn't ask an errand to help, so he left alone.

Yu Xia asked the messenger of the front office to know that Wen Yun was not in the county government at this time, but went to a resident's house to investigate a theft case.

As a county magistrate, Wen Yun has to take care of all affairs in the county, and it is very rare to work hard.

Originally, Yu Xia wanted to wait for Wen Yun to come back, but when she heard the messenger tell her a few more words about the case, she suddenly became a little interested.

"Where is the house that was stolen?"

The messenger described the specific location to her, and Yu Xia thanked the messenger and went there.

The family whose family was stolen was surnamed Li, and his family had a lot of property, and he was a big family, living in Changle Lane in the east of the county seat. The houses in Changle Lane are like, the streets are clean and refreshing, the Li family is a big family, just at the end of Changle Lane, it is easy to identify, Yu Xia raised his feet and came to the door of the Li Mansion.

The concierge of the Li family saw a female doll dressed in ordinary clothes walking to the door, and thought that the child who ran out to play had gone the wrong way, but saw her step directly on the steps, stood still in front of him, and asked him, "Can I go in and find Master Wen?" ”

The porter was stunned, "Little girl, do you know Master Wen?" ”

Although the porter had some doubts, he saw that although she was immature, she was not childish for some reason, so he subconsciously believed her statement.

"What's your name, do you know Master Wen?"

Yu Xia nodded, "My name is Yu Xia." ”

The porter thought for a moment and then said to her, "You wait a while, and I'll go in and ask." ”

After a while, the door opened again, and in addition to the porter just now, Lu Liang came out.

"Miss Yu, why are you here?" The porter came in and reported that an eight or nine-year-old girl named Yu Xia came to find Wen Xianling, and immediately came out to greet her, but Miss Yu was not investigating the evil spirit, how could she have time to come here? Could it be that something has changed, and there is something important to discuss with Master Wen?

Yu Xia pursed her lips and smiled, "I heard that something strange happened here, so I came over to take a look." ”

Lu Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her say this, just thinking that she was just going out to take a break and watch the excitement, he didn't ask much, and took her in directly. Passing through the rockery, the corridor of flowers and trees, I came to the master's study.

"Lord Wen." Yu Xia greeted Wen Yun when he entered the door, and saw that in addition to the two catchers, there was also a well-dressed middle-aged man and a woman in the house.

"Miss Yu, is something wrong?" Wen Yun was a little surprised when he saw Yu Xia, and subconsciously raised his heart, thinking the same as Lu Liang's thoughts, just thinking that something had happened to the evil spirit.

Seeing that he looked nervous, Yu Xia shook his head with a smile, "I just came over to take a look, how is this case investigated?" ”

Wen Yun didn't hide Yu Xia's meaning at all, and when he heard this, he glanced at Li Tong, the master of the Li family, and motioned for him to retell the case.

It turned out that this Li Tong lost a glass bottle a few days ago, this glass bottle was purchased from a merchant in the Western Regions with a lot of money, it is said that there are only three such wine bottles in the entire Senwu Continent, and the other two are in the hands of a nobleman in the palace and the Western Regions.

Li Tong was fortunate enough to buy this glass bottle naturally regarded it as a treasure, locked it in a box, and hid the box in the hidden compartment on the wall behind the bookshelf.

Li Tong himself was reluctant to take out this heavy treasure from time to time to play, and only when he usually feasted guests, he personally took out another wooden box for everyone to see, and then immediately put it back carefully.

Nail in the dark grid to store the glass bottle is a rosewood box, hanging a fish-shaped brass four-wheel word code lock, this lock contains a mechanism, must be turned to four correct glyphs at the same time to open it, each wheel has ten different glyphs, can be derived from tens of thousands of changes, so in addition to the person who knows the lock code, the average person is almost unable to open the lock.

Li Tong did everything about the glazed bottle, from the place where the glazed bottle was hidden, to the code of the copper fish lock, only Li Tong himself knew, and even Mrs. Li didn't know.

Li Tong thought that such a careful arrangement was so thorough, even if he coveted it, he couldn't get it, but he didn't think about it, just three days ago, Li Tong found that the glass bottle was missing.

"At my grandson's first birthday banquet that day, several old friends mentioned this glass bottle during the banquet, and they said that they wanted to see it, but who knew that when I went to the study to get it, the wooden box was empty!"

Li Tong was so uncomfortable when he mentioned this, his face turned the color of pig liver, he stroked his chest with one hand, and he couldn't breathe, Mrs. Li immediately patted him on the back when she saw this, which made him feel better.

"Let's not talk about how the thief knew where the glass bottle was hidden, what is even more strange is that this copper fish lock is still hanging on this box, and there is no trace of anyone opening it at all! I don't even know when I lost this glass bottle! Little girl, don't you think it's strange, can this glass bottle still have wings and fly by itself? ”

Yu Xia approached the rosewood box and looked at it, but did not pay attention to the lock at all, but stretched out his fingers and gently rubbed the inner wall of the wooden box, his eyes looked over inch by inch without blinking, and at the same time, his nose moved slightly, until he finally noticed what he was looking for, a dark light flashed in Yu Xia's eyes, and then turned to Li Tongdao, "Can I take out this soft satin inside?" ”
